They held us in a room and asked my father to show them the other rooms of the house," Muhammed Abdullah, the cleric's son, said. Abdullah said the family did not realise his father had been killed until the four attackers left the house.<br /><br />Salhy had criticised al Qaeda in a speech at the local mosque last Friday.<br /><br />http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/ALS735617.htm<br /><br />+++++++<br /><br />looks like the Iraqi military is part of al Qaeda in IraqDancewaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733269960341895623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812043282272915800.post-88022688603335587382010-05-17T09:54:13.561-07:002010-05-17T09:54:13.561-07:00You can use anchor tags in blogger comments, BTW.You can use anchor tags in blogger comments, BTW.Cervanteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11302076828795198187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812043282272915800.post-24134009046513543852010-05-17T08:52:50.522-07:002010-05-17T08:52:50.522-07:00story on how war and occupation tears families apa...story on how war and occupation tears families apart:<br /><br />Amal and Her Children <br /><br />Since I have returned home I have not forgotten her or any of the dozens of people I met during my brief time in Syria. In the intervening year and a half several families have been relocated to the United States where the struggle to survive in a strange land (amidst an economic downturn) continues. Many more are still waiting. Their story remains untold.<br /><br />I am disheartened and angry that our country can continue funding death and destruction at the astronomical rate of 5.5 billion dollars a month ($5,500,000,000) for the occupation of Iraq and 6.7 billion dollars a month ($6,700,000,000) for the war in Afghanistan and leave the people that have suffered from our actions (which we claim are in their best interests) to fend for themselves. <br /><br />http://www.counterpunch.org/barber05172010.htmlDancewaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733269960341895623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812043282272915800.post-75142610313506080092010-05-17T07:55:32.550-07:002010-05-17T07:55:32.550-07:00Yep, that's true -- but it's a really tiny...Yep, that's true -- but it's a really tiny fringe group of wackos, comparable to the Christian dominionist movement (to which Sarah Palin belongs, BTW).Cervanteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11302076828795198187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812043282272915800.post-80243732044446797072010-05-17T06:59:07.367-07:002010-05-17T06:59:07.367-07:00Yesterday's Quote of the Day had several issue...Yesterday's Quote of the Day had several issues that need to be dealt with. I shall start with the most important.<br /><br />In the preamble to the QOTD, C said <b>" For the record, I do not believe there is any realistic possibility of restoration of the Caliphate. -- C"</b><br /><br />With all due respect C, it doesn't matter what you believe. And even though I agree that restoring the caliphate is highly unlikely, it doesn't matter what I think either.<br /><br />What matters is what they believe. . .. and they believe it will be done for it is Allah's will. And if you were to read the writings of Zawahiri, they even have a 25 yr plan laid out.<br /><br />What really matters is that they believe it, therefore they act on it.thewiznoreply@blogger.com
